The current HPF 2.0 document would not have been possible without
the contributions of the previous series of HPFF meetings.  Following
are the acknowlegements for those efforts.

\section{HPFF Acknowledgements}
\label{hpff-ack}

Technical development for HPF 1.0  was carried out by subgroups, and
was reviewed by the full committee.  Many people served in positions of 
responsibility:

\begin{itemize}

\item Ken Kennedy, Convener and Meeting Chair;

\item Charles Koelbel, Executive Director and Head of the FORALL Subgroup;

\item Mary Zosel, Head of the Fortran 90 and Storage Association Subgroup;

\item Guy Steele, Head of the Data Distribution Subgroup;

\item Rob Schreiber, Head of the Intrinsics Subgroup;

\item Bob Knighten, Head of the Parallel I/O Subgroup;

\item Marc Snir, Head of the Extrinsics Subgroup;

\item Joel Williamson and Marina Chen, Heads of the Subroutine 
Interface Subgroup; and

\item David Loveman, Editor.

\end{itemize}

Geoffrey Fox convened the first HPFF meeting with Ken Kennedy and
later led a group to develop benchmarks for HPF.  
Clemens-August Thole organized a  group in Europe and was
instrumental in making this an international effort.  Charles Koelbel
produced detailed meeting  minutes
that were invaluable to
subgroup heads in preparing successive revisions to the draft
proposal.  Guy Steele developed \LaTeX\ macros for a variety of tasks, 
including formatting BNF grammar, Fortran code and pseudocode, and 
commentary material; the document would have been much less aesthetically 
pleasing without his efforts.

Many companies, universities, and other entities supported their
employees' attendance at the HPFF meetings, both directly and
indirectly.  The following organizations were represented at two or
more meetings by the following individuals (not including those present
at the first HPFF meeting in January of 1992, for which there is no 
accurate attendee list):

Because public input was encouraged on electronic mailing lists, it is
impossible to identify all who contributed to
discussions;  the entire mailing list was over 500 names
long. Following are  some of the active participants in
the HPFF process not mentioned above:

The following organizations made the language draft available by anonymous FTP 
access and/or mail servers:
AT\&T Bell Laboratories,
Cornell Theory Center,
GMD-I1.T (Sankt Augustin), 
Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
Rice University,
Syracuse University,
and Thinking Machines Corporation.
These outlets were instrumental in distributing the document.

The High Performance Fortran Forum also received a great deal of
volunteer effort in nontechnical areas.  Theresa Chatman and Ann
Redelfs were responsible for most of the meeting planning and
organization, including the first HPFF meeting, which drew over 125
people.  Shaun Bonton, Rachele Harless, Rhonda Perales, Seryu Patel, and 
Daniel Swint
helped with many logistical details.  Danny Powell spent a great deal
of time handling the financial details of the project.  Without these
people, it is unlikely that HPF would have been completed.

HPFF operated on a very tight budget (in reality, it had no budget when
the first meeting was announced).  The first meeting in Houston was
entirely financed from the conferences budget of the Center for
Research on Parallel Computation, an NSF Science and Technology
Center.  DARPA and NSF have supported research at various institutions
that have made a significant contribution towards the development of
High Performance Fortran.  Their sponsored projects at Rice, Syracuse,
and Yale Universities were particularly influential in the HPFF
process.  Support for several European participants was provided by
ESPRIT  through projects P6643 (PPPE) and P6516 (PREPARE).

An important activity of HPFF94 was the processing of the many items
submitted for comment and interpretation which led to the HPF 1.1
update of the language document.  A special acknowlegement
goes to Henry Zongaro, IBM, for many thoughtful questions 
exposing dark corners of language design that 
were previously overlooked, and to
Guy Steele, Thinking Machines/Sun Microsystems for his analysis
of, and solutions for some of the thornier issues discussed.
And general thanks to the people who submitted comments and
interpretation requests, including:

David Loveman, Michael Hennecke, James Cownie,
Adam Marshall, Stephen Ehrlich, Mary Zosel, Matt Snyder,
Larry Meadows, Dick Hendrickson,
Dave Watson, John Merlin, Vasanth Bala, Paul.Wesson,
Denis.Hugli, Stanly Steinberg, Henk Sips, Henry Zongaro,
Eiji_Nunohiro, Jens Bloch Helmers, Rob Schreiber, 
David B. Serafini, and Allan Knies.

Other special mention goes to  Chuck Koelbel at
Rice University for continued 
maintenance of the HPFF mailing lists, to Donna Reese and staff at
Mississippi State University for establishing and maintaining a
WWW home-page for HPFF,
and to the University of Maryland for
establishing a benchmark FTP site.

Theresa Chatman and staff at Rice University were responsible for
meeting planning and organization and Danny Powell 
continued to handle financial details of the project.

HPFF94 received direct support for research and administrative
activities from grants from ARPA, DOE, and NSF.
